Swara Bhasker, known for her roles in films like 'Raanjhanaa' and 'Veere Di Wedding', recently opened up about her views on politics, the glamour associated with it, and her thoughts on Kangana Ranaut's political journey. Both of them shared the screen in the popular 'Tanu Weds Manu' franchise, where audiences loved their on-screen camaraderie.
Swara Bhasker declines to comment on Kangana
In an interview with DNA, when asked about Kangana Ranaut joining politics and her career shift, Swara replied, "I have no opinion on what people do in their personal or professional lives. Meri opinion sirf un topics pe rahegi jo public interest mein ho ya abuse of power ho raha hai. Mere paas kisi ki personal life ke liye koi comments nahi hai" (My opinion will be only on those topics which are in public interest or there is abuse of power. I don't have any comments on anyone's personal life.)

She emphasises accountability for all political leaders
Swara also spoke about the responsibilities that come with political power. She emphasised, "Neta kahi se bhi aaye, agar aap chune hue hai, toh aapka apne logo ke prati answerable hai. It's a very simple thing. Aapke paas power hai, logo ne chun ke power diya hai, phir aapko uske liye zimmedar hona chaiye. Bhale woh koi bhi politician ho, kahi se bhi aaye" (No matter where the leader comes from, if you are selected, you are answerable to your people.
People have chosen you and given you the power; thus, you should be responsible for it. It doesn't matter who the politician is, wherever he may have come from.)
Swara explains politics is not always glamorous
Swara, who campaigned for her husband Fahad, also shed light on the realities of politics. She said, "Aap jab politics dekhte hai, toh aap sirf glamour dekhte hai. Arey road show karenge, itni bheed hogi, bhashan denge. But politics ain't limited to campaigning only. Raajneeti mein woh down days bhi hote hai" (When you see politics, you only see glamour. I will do road shows, there will be so many crowds, and I will give speeches. But politics is not limited to campaigning only. There are down days in politics too.)
